ARTHUR CELEBRITY AUDIOBOOK
- STARS ALIGN TO BENEFIT CHARITY
The Arthur Celebrity Audiobook, featuring stories read by Clay Aiken, Kevin Bacon, Marcia Gay Harden, Kelly Ripa, and
other notable celebrities is now available for purchase. We would like to invite the public to join us in celebrating
this next chapter in the Arthur series, and encourage children to read along with some of today's hottest stars. The
majority of the proceeds from sales of the audiobook will be donated to three important children's charities: the
Elizabeth Glaser Pediatrics AIDS Foundation (EGPAF), National Education Association Health Information Network (NEA-HIN)
and Clay Aiken's Bubel/Aiken Foundation (TBAF).
"We are honored to be one of three respected organizations who will benefit from the proceeds of the Arthur Audiobook,"
said Kate Carr, President and CEO of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. "Arthur is truly one the most
beloved children's characters. By purchasing the Arthur Celebrity Audiobook, parents are not only introducing their
children to a collection of memorable stories, they are also helping raise funds to create a healthier future for
children worldwide."
Marc Brown, author of the Arthur series, agrees, "It has always been my intention for Arthur to be helpful to children
and families by providing educational stories that are highly entertaining. I'm thrilled that Arthur and I can also be
helpful to these wonderful and worthy charitable causes."
Arthur is one of the premier brands in children's entertainment, entering the homes of over 9 million children twice a
day; having sold 49 million adventure books; and distributing over 7 million home videos annually. In recent years this
lovable character, along with his family and friends, have broadened global perspectives, taught meaningful lessons of
acceptance and captivated the minds of our nation's preschoolers.
The Arthur Celebrity Audiobook is an enhanced audio CD that features stories, pictures, music, games and educational
content for children, parents and teachers. In addition to serving as an entertaining educational tool, sales of the
Arthur Celebrity Audiobook will benefit extraordinary children's charities, helping these organizations continue their
commitment and dedication to enhance the lives of millions of children around the world. The Arthur Audiobook, written
by Marc Brown and produced by [212]MEDIA, is the first in the Stories for Heroes series of classic children's stories
narrated by the notable names in sports and entertainment.
